Kolek planning to go pro
Thanks - probably can’t make it - darn
This is another example why some people don’t share what they know here, or they leave altogether.
Before we begin, your most recent post here (checks notes) says: “We are all anti-dentites.”
I'm going to be honest man, I appreciate the info you offered. Sometimes you just have to ignore the noise.Unfortunately, we have had plenty of people purporting to know things or be someone in the know who end up being trolls. So accept that this place is a little off. But also accept that any anonymous message board is like this. Anyone with a low post history is going to probably catch heat... especially when their info doesn't turn out to be correct.Also, more than a few people here like to joke around and use inside baseball jokes... they're not new person friendly jokes, mind you.
Let’s see if Brian Stanchak has anything to say today. Of all the things he could tweet, of all the days, he decided to go with this:https://x.com/bdstan/status/1780934606180503965?s=46&t=TsCCkuE48YmnkWfoKqc_Ng
I think you are illustrating the point. It’s the old 80/20 business rule. 20% of posters do 80% of the posting. And those would be a mix of bad, good, indifferent posters. Sometimes the ones shouting loudest or the most, aren’t the most informed or best posters. Maybe if more people spent more time objectively discussing topics, and less time attacking posters with failed stand up comedy routines and you’d have more informed posters. Just a thought. The self important idea that a new person has to prove themselves to group sure is something. I’ll stand by my posts, all of which were matter of fact accurate, informative, posts about what transpired, when it transpired. And that’s just it, I don’t have to ignore the noise. I can just pick up the ball and home.
So you are familiar with the operations of Scoop.But are unaware of Scoop's well known anti-dentite joke.Interesting...
Of course you can. But remember your audience. We are dumbass fans on a dumbass fan board.People with reliable information (Big Daddy, TAMU, Brewcity, a couple of others) are routinely taken seriously. The difference is they've been around for years (RIP BD), and have earned the respect.You may do what you wish, but I'd prefer you stick around. You'll get used to the dumbassery around here.
Really? Go read reply #1491 on the previous page. Maybe one of your reliable sources isn’t so reliable about this topic. If that’s how “respected” posters treat new posters, perhaps that’s why there aren’t as many new informative posters. Respect is a two way street, whether someone has posted one time or one thousand times. Again, I can’t speak for other posters. Again, you keep saying that I have to adjust to the “dumbassery” around here. I don’t.And the goal of changing the subject away from the MUWBB mess, has been achieved by posters with an agenda. I don’t have an agenda. I posted about the entire search as it happened with a wide range of candidates. And I did so without an ounce of negativity too. I did read other posts from other posters that may have been either negative or unrealistic or inaccurate etc….but I said I would discuss those things more specifically after the search was complete.
They needed someone else to use for the reveal. The next MUWBB HC is Gillespie.
Looks like it'll be streamed on MU's YT channel.
Why would you assume that one of the posters that was being referenced was you? There are multiple new posters in this thread. I don't have any sources. But there are people who I regard as established posters with a history of accurate information. You may become one some day. But that isn't given, it is earned. Now, my regard or belief in a person's info is worth exactly what I pay in dues to use this website annually. Why would you care what I (random internet guy you don't know) think? Why should you care if I believe you? I'm no one. But you did say this:So, there you have it. In your first 40 posts you put yourself out there. Don't be upset when people fact check you. As for respect being a two way street, I think you have been treated pretty respectfully, thus far. If not, you ain't seen nothing yet.
Maybe I’ve provided, accurate, timely, information objectively, without bias or negativity. Maybe that’s new here. And maybe it’s difficult for a vocal minority of MU fans to hear anything less than Seashells and Balloons. (See there, I used an MU Rah Rah reference to be part of the group)
And, that was true at the time. Ask Gillespie, her agent, Skim, several others including people in MU’s Athletic Department. Don’t take my word for it. I also see that you tried to cherry pick and play gotcha instead of going with the totality of the posts and their information. I will stand by all of my posts. I don’t think they’d garner this much attention if there wasn’t something to them.By the way, where are all of these MUWBB fans during the season? Or in past seasons? My excuse is I’m new. What’s yours? So many people posting in this thread that never otherwise show interest in MUWBB tells me all that I need to know. It looks as though it’s a handful of people. Apologies to Marquette Fan and those few others for temporary topic deviation. I’m certainly trying to discuss MUWBB.
It's just very interesting that there were three posters (of which you are one) who signed up less than a month ago and only posted in this topic and on the coaching search.
I had no inside info on the search and I appreciated the info I read on this site. In retrospect, it seems like there was a lot of accurate and some misinformation put forth for whatever reason. Let's face it, the search was a cluster. MU is trying to save face, saying that CC was their choice all along, things posted on this site were inaccurate, etc. I would guess some of that is true. After all, you had an agent posting on here defending his clients and urging what great hires they would be. You had names being thrown out who had no interest in the job.
Well, it's not true. Gillespie is not the next MUWBB HC. You came here and stated it as if it's a fact that she is. Unless she's signed on to replace Consuegra, whenever that might be?And LOL at calling people out for not posting on women's basketball before...when neither did you!
I posted the information that I had at the time I had it. And that information can and does change. Seems pretty straight forward. Again, my excuse is that I’m new. You have 798 posts and how many of those are about MUWBB? And I’m not sure I want to know about why a recent poster suggested you had no African American friends, and that your brain was pathologically broken. And others responded too. Sounds ominous. If anyone would like to discuss MUWBB, I’m happy to join.
For what it’s worth, nothing has changed for me regarding my previous posts. That’s always subject to change. I have Ginny Boggess as the favorite, Kristen Gillespie, and possibly Maureen Magarity as the top 3 at this time in that order. I do know someone new was also contacted in the process.
It is my understanding that MUWBB chose Gillespie over Boggess.
That’s interesting and much different than my information. All of my information has suggested only 2 people have been serious or advanced candidates for the position, as opposed to many. And it’s been just one candidate for over a week now. That doesn’t mean many others weren’t contacted. It means these were the two serious candidates based on mutual interest. I could have instead posted some sort of exciting razzle dazzle, plot twists, misdirection, etc…but I instead just posted what I knew when I knew it.I didn’t bump my previous post later last night by accident or coincidence before what happened today. And my information has stayed the same for over a week now.The only surprise for me was seeing Consuegra’s photo in the reveal. But I suppose they can’t use Boggess’ photo after she took the Toledo job. If anything it should be telling for some that he didn’t use Barnes or Harper in the photo. Gillespie’s agent likes to have a little fun. He also represents Caldwell, who was the previous Skim Milkey cartoon reveal. So yes, I would be very surprised if it wasn’t Gillespie. I previously posted that not everything is always what it seems.
Say what you will, but St. Louis sucks
All the people posting about the coaching change saga will be posting here during the season too, right 😀?Yeah I’m sure it will be dead again with basically just me talking to myself 😂
